  Fermented and aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak, this 100% varietal wine lets the fruit take center stage, offering up white peach and apricot in a succulent package. Floral and flinty, it's balanced, with just the slightest notion of vanilla and brioche poppin…

  A lovely 100% Viognier fermented and aged in both stainless steel and neutral oak, this wine opens with come-hither aromas of night-blooming jasmine and white flowers, evolving in the glass into a bright, viscous expression of honey and almond. Concentrated yet lively, it's a be…

  This is one of those Viogniers that's flashy and extravagant. If you're a Chardophile, it brings the same creamy, oaky sweetness and lifts it into the stratosphere, with scads of tropical fruits, sweet ripe pears, honeysuckle flowers, vanilla, brown sugared and cinnamon. Viognie…

  A superfruity Viognier, an orchard in itself, offering ripe flavors of peaches, pears, lemons, limes, pineapples and nectarines. It's crisp in welcome acidity, with a honeyed finish. Nice for those who like their wines on the high alcohol, sweet side.

  The gigantic flavors are there, showing the exotic, flamboyant side of Viognier. Peach, pineapple, kiwi, Key lime pie, honeysuckle blossom, roasted almond, smoky new oak and Asian spices lead to a dry, honeyed finish. There's an edgy awkwardness, though, that limits elegance. Mi…

  From Pride's estate 2,100 feet up in the Mayacamas, another in a string of impressive Viogniers. Follows the pattern of tempering the varietal's over the top character with barrel fermentation and lees aging. The result is a wine with the density of a big Chardonnay, but with Vi…
